Meyer, Christoph. 5 Bl. With 4 sheet-sized original drawings from Chr. Meyer. 23 x 19 cm. Red OLeinenband with cover title; bound as block book. In OPappschuber. (Berlin, CHM with Edition Schwarzdruck, 2018). mote 15. One of 7 Roman numbered copies of the special edition (total edition: 22 ex.) on Gangolf Ulbricht's "single faced Laid" paper. Contains seven original drawings (colour fiber pencil, ballpoint pen) by Meyer. "The illustrations by Christoph Meyer always follow their own style of surface and stroke. There are drawing meditations in which the words of the novel reverberate and can only be guessed as traces. The idiosyncratic movement of the drawing hand, which follows its own logic and dynamics, is connected to the reading eye, but at the same time forms an obstacle. Faced with the horror of the fate told from a child's point of view and the incomprehensible of a radicalizing sadistic cruelty, the idea of an illustration in itself might seem questionable - how should it be represented? Christoph Meyer's drawings, however, keep the distance, since they are entirely with them, and at the same time they are reflections on her own readings, readings that open an imaginary path out of the book to the viewer." (Michael Lailach, Kunstbibliothek, Berlin, about "Maciek" - lies in times of war). – A blameless specimen.
